With the launch of Mi 4 in India on Jan 28th, Xiaomi also started rolling out the much awaited MIUI v6 Stable ROM update for Mi 3 users in India. Some users have already got the latest MIUI 6 update on Mi 3W in India while others are stuck with MIUI 5. If you can’t wait anymore, then you can have it right now by installing the Stable MIUI v6 OTA update manually on Mi 3 Indian version. The update isn’t available on MIUI download portal yet but the link for official OTA zip file is out now! The update sized 542MB will update your Mi 3 in India from MIUI 5 version: KXDMIBF34.0 to MIUI V6.3.2.0.KXDMIBL (Stable).

MIUI 6 is big update with significant changes in terms of looks as it features an entirely revamped UI, several new features, improvements and bug fixes. It’s based on Android 4.4.4 (KitKat).

Note: This update is meant only for the Indian Mi 3 WCDMA variant.

Best part is that none of your data including the installed apps, apps data, and other settings Will Not be deleted as you’re simply installing the official OTA package.

Note: Flashing a newer version of MIUI ROM doesn’t requires to wipe data, but flashing an older one does. So, as you’re updating to a newer version wiping is not needed. Make sure your phone is charged.

3. Open Updater app, press the Menu button. Then tap on ‘Select update package’ option and choose the downloaded ROM (miui_MI3WMI4WGlobal_V6.3.2.0.KXDMIBL_81cf4052dd_4.4.zip). Click on the ‘Update’ option, wait for the update to complete and then Reboot to finish.

Hi Mayur,
Sometime back I installed screen cast on my mi 3 . I had to root my phone as suggested by you in an article on webtricz(thank you).
After that my miui version showing as KXDMIBF 34.0 instead of official KXDMIBH 34.0. (BTW you have mentioned KXDMIBF 34.0 in this article). Just want to confirm will this have any effect on my MIUI V 6 update. Since you have mentioned KXDMIBF 34.0 in this article so I think I am safe…
Regards.

Hi chandan, it doesn’t matters if the version is xxBF or xxBH because both are official. Just make sure you’re device isn’t rooted and if it’s rooted then first unroot it using ‘IN_Unroot_V34.zip’ file linked at end in this guide. http://webtrickz.com/how-to-root-xiaomi-mi-3-indian-version/ Then simply install the MIUI 6 update as stated above.

Hello Mayur,
Thanx for your info..
I flashed the ROM. Its Working Fine but there is no mirror camera option, while botting blue screen blinks, swipe up to open gloabl search is absent, notificaion bar is completely opaque which I found in some screenshots to be little transperent and the last, online music option is absent in music player.
Are these bugs?
And will we get the official OTA updates through Updater App on this Global ROM?

Hi Siddhartha, the mirror filter is there when you swipe towards left in camera. Blue flick while booting is there in stable as well as Dev ROM. Long press home button to open Google Now. Status/notification bar is translucent only when on homescreen or lockscreen. Yeah, online option doesn’t seems there in stock music player.

These aren’t bugs actually, several features you see in Developer ROM aren’t soon added to stable ROM. Yes, you’ll get official OTA updates just like before.

Hi mayur,
I have purchased my mi3 directly from China so the phone comes preloaded with Chinese ROM. Then I have installed Indian ROM in it. Every thing is going good but some things like themes menu still comes in Chinese font. Now I want to update ROM with Miui 6.. What should I do now so That this problem will not comes…

It’s official update and you can figure that out by comparing the download URL. As it’s a major OTA update, it’s rolled out in batches and isn’t made available soon on website. Coz an OTA rollout can be halted if they see some serious bug with the update.

After updating my mi3 tothis V6. I am facing problems like Gmail, whatsup and some other are not working showing message like (Unfortunatelly Gmail Has stoped) . Can anyone help me out on this. Plz reply

Hi Mayur,
On the basis of your article , I rooted and unrooted my MI 3. But MIUI version changed from KXDMIBH 34.0 ( Stable) to KXDMIBF 34.0 . I also installed SCREENCAST as suggestedbby you in an article.
Now I want to revert back to KXDMIBH 34.0 (Stable). and I also want to delete SCREENCAST.
PLZ suggest how to revert back to KXDMIBH 34.0 (Stable).

I am on the Chinese Dev ROM ( 5.2.13| Beta ). I want to switch to the Indian ROM(lately I am finding this dev ROM a bit sluggish). Now instead of using CWM can I directly \”Reboot to Recovery\” using the \”Updater\” app which is pre-installed and \”wipe and reset\” then install the .zip ?? Thanks

After installing the MIUI v6 on mi3, how we can root ? I need to root as buttons in the bottom are not visible so I have enabled the virtual button as per the link – http://en.miui.com/thread-30475-1-1.html.
Not sure if it works on v6.
